astonishing how quickly after railroads
take hold Of anything in earnest, such
as car-heating, which many of them
have time and again declared imprac-
ticable without stoves. they find out
that there are safe and easy methods.
After time they may find it profitable
to build safe bridges of stone and iron,
wherever such is required, though it is
possible good deal of legislative prod
ding will be needed to bring them up
to this point. The inability to do what
a corporation does not want to do is
not, however, confined to the railroads.
The failure to place telegraph and
electric light wires under ground shows
this.
Mr.. STAae, Yale's famous baseball
pitcher, entered Phillipz Exeter
academy some years ago poor lad.
For the first month he lived on 16 cents
q day, his food being oatmeal and corn
meal, with meat-the toughest kind of
'VCActCah-u u luIt tIcdu OuCc h Week..
The second month he succeeded in
getting fairly good day board in return
for the care of horse. At the end of
this month he was still better off, for
he found board and lodging for caring
for horse and doing all the odd chores
around the house, and thus he sup
ported himself through Exeter. At
Yale he earned his way by tutoring and
writing for the papers. In the mean
time he has found leisure to be one of
the best amateur pitchers in the
country, and to maintain high schol-
arship. AS for his social standing, it is
only necessary to say that he is a mem
Der of the Skull and Bones society, the
right to wear the badge of which is one
of the most desired honors in college.
He has a remarkable face, less hand
some than strong, highly interesting
study to those who know the facts of
his past life. The lines in his counten-
ance all denote endurance and deter
mination, with keen perceptive powers.
INDIA and China, as San Francisco
contemporary remarks, are the best
customers for silver, of which they
have been very large buyers for many
years. AT first thought one is apt to
wonder what becomes of it all, rs they
seldom, or never, sell; but when viewed
in the light of dense population, the
millions upon millions sent them are
readily accounted for, taking into con-
sideration the natural slrinkage by
wear and loss, and large amounts
annually used up for manufacturing pur-
poses. China has population of over
400, 900, 900, and India and the Straits
over 200, 900, 900; nearly one-half of the
inhabitants of the world. If the United
States, with population of about Co.
100000, and using paper, gold, and
silver currency, absorbed $25, 900
per annum in silver within the past nine
years, it ought not to be difficult mat
ter for 600, 900, 900 people with no cur
rency but silver to take more than
double that quantity per annum. For
the past twenty years the shipments OF
silver from Great Britain to China and
India have varied from $3,2OO,OO0 in
1867 to sS5,0OO,Ooo in 1879; but the
past ten years the sum varied from
$20,000,000 to S4O,OO0,OOO. London
and San Francisco are the real COM
petitors in the silver trade with these
countries.

ROBERT GARRETT is about 81 years
old. He has no fondness for an executive
position and cannot bear to be chained
to desk. He is devoted to the pleas
ures of society and he likes to frequent
drawing-rooms, club, and bathrooms
He is extremely attentive to his dress
and is always attired in the height of

millions if he had never owned dol

HERE'S another laundering lightning
story. 1t comes from Lincoln, Neb.,
where a young girl was dressing in her
room during thunder storm. Her
pug dog ran in. She clasped it to her
bosom. A flash of lightning instantly
killed it. She was Mortified to find
that an image of her dog had been
photographed on her bosom. There
seems to be no way of removing the pic
ture, which gives every shade, color, and
wrinkle of the canine form.

A CLOCK recently patented in France
is in imitation of a tambourine, on the
parchment head of which is painted a
circle of flowers, corresponding to the
hour figures of ordinary dials. On ex-
animation two bees, one large and the
other small, are discovered crawling
among the flowers. The small bee runs
rapidly from one flower to another,
completing the circle in an hour, while
the large one takes twelve hours to
complete the circle. The parchment
is unbroken and the bees simply laid
upon it, but two magnets connected
with the clockwork inside the tambour-
inc move just under the membrane,
and the insects, which are of iron, fol-
low them.

In the Cologne Cathedral there are Z
inches for the reception of statues at
all the chief doors and at the side en-
frances. The height of the vestibule is
z times 8 feet; 7 pediments for figures
stand in the same; chapels surround
the choir, the width OF which, like that
of the inner area of the church is Z
times % feet, the height of the aisles
are Z times 10 feet, and twice pillars
adorn the choir. In the aisles are Z
time pillars, and times shafts rise
along the walls. The western portal
is Z times 33 feet wide, the length of
the vast building is Z times rs feet, and
the height to the summit of the prin-
cipal towers was also fixed ut z times

z times Is feet wide. Not only does
the number enter SO largely into the
general architectural arrangements,
but also into the smallest details as the

AN experienced whisky faster, being
interviewed, said, II won't tell you
how much my pay amounts to, but I
can say that l gave up the management
of a Louisville distillery, where I got
$4,000 year, to accept my present
position. A good whisky faster never
eats onions, cheese, or any spiced food !;
the diet is kept down to the plainest
sort of food, because such rigid ad-
herence to regimen secures an infalible
taste. The value of such taste may
be inferred from the fact that the
whisky faster said, "Igive orders some
times for 1000 barrels of whisky after
tasting one spoonful of the sample, and
not wasting over five minutes in the
act. 1t is fair to suppose the faster
in question receives as much as s25, 900
q year for tasting whisky while in
numerous cases tasters find the balance
in the left-hand side of the ledger.
